Well i ment online FPS gaming, no more mods including competitive mods and no dedi's just means its basicly the same as the damn console games.

We still have DICE and Valve, and their MP games are FAR better anyway. I still think IW's single player stuff is untouchable though.

[>HyperlogiK<]

So I have seen a few posts to the effect that 'I don't want to give them even more money' does this mean that there is some bit of news I missed that suggests that the service is subscription based?

[rintamarotta]

How is that a good thing for us?

I dont support piratism and no one should. Cracked servers obiviously are for people who have pirated the game.

Battlefield 3 is coming.. I'll wait. Until then, BF 2142 is still the best FPS game out there. Operation Flashpoint and ARMA are still having a lot of problems.

I still find Battlefield 2 to be better game than BF2142, one reason is Project Reality Mod for BF2. Arma/Arma2 and Operation Flashpoint have indeed tons of problems.
Waiting for BF3 to come out.

[Xoulz]

Battlefield 2142 is awful, idk how you like it

Battlefield 2 is way better.

Well I played them all and I do somewhat agree with you. The learning curve on BF2142 is higher, as most coming over from BF2 aren't use to the faster pace and Classes. I've have had many of my friends repeatedly install and play BF2142, only a few ever got hooked, but those who did agree, once you get to a certain point, going back to BF2 becomes child's play.


BF 2142 just needs more city maps,etc... or just more maps. But I do feel it is a better over-all game. If you want to try it again, send me a PM, as I play BF2142 2-3 hours everyday.

losing dedicated servers is one thing but being dumbed down to the console level is a whole new wave of stupid. my favorite part of COD on PC was the fact that online you could have your 64 player games compared to your 16 player games. i will not play a COD game online with less then 25 people in it. it just moves to slow, i have seen my buddies play online on their PS3's and Xbox's and it just looks plain boring because there is nobody in the match.

good thing i did not pre order this game.

i know, for multi platform games that are on 360 and PC. chances are the pc version is tiny bit better looking due to higher res., AA, better texture ... thats about it..

developers are not even making an effort to utilize PC's power. games are console centric nowadays, which is why i am going to be waiting for a long time before i upgrade graphics card

oh btw this junk cost $59 USD iirc

[RaZz!]

at first they increase the price for cod:mw2 to 60$/€ and now they take away features that would have made people actually paying that price. wow, how retarted are those people at IW?

even if i'm not a fan of the cod:mw multiplayer and only played the singleplayer this is idd again a huge letdown for the pc community. if one developer does this it won't take long and others will follow. this is sad and so frustrating as it seems we can't do anything about it...

[Tunnel Vision]

Servers hosted by players or clans that let them put the map rotation of their choice, the mode they want, the amount of player they desire, etc. It's a server that lets them control their server and modify the settings

Thanks for the clarification.

I always looked forward to the higher player severs in CoD...now it's going to be very hard to purchase this game knowing that it won't be there.

signed
though valve didnt seem to care about L4D2 customers
and now they end the boycott because the two main guys sold out
such a joke of a boycott
im still not buying

[Luka_Aveiro]

I think it's time to PC players to rely only on free pc games and donate their money to the teams who develop them, these blockbuster devs must know we are not stupid like them.

I am only playing quake live nowadays and it feels like i won't be leaving it soon.

though valve didnt seem to care about L4D2 customers

valve lost my respect long time ago, since they started to trade 1$ for 1€. that L4D2 issue set it for me, I don't even have steam installed.

[AndrewZorn]

yeah i cant wait to get back on fast internet to play quake live
is it basically just free quake3?

and yeah,
the two guys that got famous off starting the boycott closed it because "valve dropped the price to $33, all you have to do is buy 4 at once"
they consider a bundle discount to solve the problems of:
- a $50 expansion (which is still $50 if you only want one copy)
- split community
- valve saying "free new levels, weapons and characters for L4D!" which only the first one has been delivered, and only barely

so now everyone that is saying that the boycott should not be ended is being made fun of "lol guys its OVER i mean valve is giving you the game for $33 and YOU STILL COMPLAIN LOL"

[Easybeat]

Every topic on the subject is vanishing almost as soon as it appears on the IW forum, damage limitation it appears to me.

I had to laugh though when I went to Amazon UK, the game is getting one star ratings already. Lets see if the ratings 'disappear' like what happened with Spore and the restrictive DRM.

Hitting 18710 now, last night when this started, I saw it with only 1200+ and now look at it grow.

IW has made a true misjudgement here.

[>HyperlogiK<]

Free games are split between badly unpolished Quake/Civ clones [Alien Arena, Sauerbraten, Freeciv] and interesting experiments that aren't actually any fun to play [Narbacular Drop, .kkrieger]. I'm all for the philosophy of free software, but when the free games are so vastly inferior to even compared with bargain bin retail titles from ten years ago I'm not willing to play them just to make a political statement.

I really love PC games, and whatever else they do DICE and Valve make great fun multiplayer titles and Infinity Ward, Bethesda and 2K make great singleplayer, for me at least it is going to take quite a lot more interference and heavy handedness on their part before it outweighs the fun I have playing the games that they release. If and when this does happen I will not switch to free software which I don't enjoy any more than I will switch to Bejewelled or Microsoft Hearts, I will simply find a new hobby.

[AndrewZorn]

if only people were this adamant about premium DLC / micro transactions
which is REALLY the ruin of video games

[Luka_Aveiro]

yeah i cant wait to get back on fast internet to play quake live
is it basically just free quake3?

Yeah, basically it is, but has tiny modifications in: weapons beahviours/status, physics and also has some new maps, but it's really cool.

I don't think you need a really fast conenction for it to work good, just try it out.

and yeah,

those boycott lame-ass guys got corrupted by valve and a ty visit to their HQ and guess what... it worked.

[Zaskar]

Like was said, all those reasons they listed were bull, the only reason their doing this is to sell map packs after the fact. What better way to sell way more copies of tiny amounts of content then if you completely stop the ability for the community to make their own.

[Psykocyber]

Join the Infinity Ward community to get involved in every aspect of its development by connecting directly with the studio.

Yeah, you can say whatever you want as long you don't criticize their superior decisions. We couldn't allow negative comments to hurt our sales, could we now?

[Russian]

Oh hey, look at that! Someone deleted the petition thread, all 1.5k signatures!

They stopped registration. I can't register.

[Easybeat]

They stopped registration. I can't register.

I wouldn't worry, they are deleting every topic on the subject anyway.

[Russian]

I wouldn't worry, they are deleting every topic on the subject anyway.

They've lost all respect from me. They went from a company who makes a good video game... to a company who completely screws PC gamers like EVERYONE ELSE.

[BobyTT]

Already cancelled my pre-order for 3 games at amazon. Not buying this game.

[slim142]

No PB = FAIL
No dedicated servers = RUINED

20k petitions on that website. I really do hope they release a last-moment patch

[Milos-stancene]

Not buying this game.

no one should
